You can order food on WhatsApp from Desi Chef in under a minute: save our number, tap the WhatsApp button on our website (or message +91 8861924344 directly), and tell us what you’re craving. No app to download, no account to create, no forms to fill out. It’s the same chat window you already use to talk to friends and family — just pointed at a Maharaja Thali instead.
We built our ordering flow around WhatsApp on purpose. Most delivery apps bury you in fees, fine print, and a dozen taps before you even see the menu. At Desi Chef, ordering food on WhatsApp in Bengaluru means you’re talking to a real person at the restaurant who knows the menu, the day’s specials, and exactly how spicy you like your chaap. Here’s exactly how the two-tap flow works, step by step.
The 2-Tap WhatsApp Ordering Flow
“Two-tap” isn’t a marketing exaggeration — it’s close to the literal number of taps between opening your phone and getting your order confirmed.
Tap 1: Open the chat
Head to our website and tap the “Reserve on WhatsApp” or “Ask/Order” button, or simply open WhatsApp and start a new chat with +91 8861924344. If you’ve called or ordered from us before, the thread is probably still sitting in your recent chats.
Tap 2: Send your order
Type what you want — a dish name, a thali, or even just “what’s good for two people tonight?” — and hit send. Our team will confirm availability, walk you through Jain or onion-garlic-free swaps if you need them, and give you a total including delivery charges if applicable.
From there, it’s a normal conversation: you confirm, we cook, and your food is either ready for pickup, packed for delivery, or waiting for you at a reserved table. Payment can be arranged over the same chat, whether that’s cash on delivery, UPI, or paying at the counter for dine-in.
Why WhatsApp Ordering Works Better for a Restaurant Like Ours
Desi Chef is a 100% pure vegetarian North Indian and Indo-Chinese kitchen on Thanisandra Main Road, and a lot of our regulars have specific asks — Jain thalis with no onion or garlic, extra mild Indo-Chinese for the kids, or a bulk order for eight people landing at exactly 8 PM. That kind of detail gets lost in a rigid app menu with checkboxes. On WhatsApp, you just type it, and a person on our end reads it and gets it right.
It also means you get real-time answers. Wondering if the Lunch Special (25% off, 12:00–2:00 PM daily) still applies to a takeaway order, or whether your delivery address falls in our ₹40 zone versus our ₹60 zone? Ask, and you’ll have an answer in minutes — not a support ticket.
What You Can Order Through WhatsApp
Pretty much everything on our menu is available to order this way, including bestsellers like the Maharaja Thali (₹549), Jashn-e-Tandoori Platter (₹989), Veg Seekh Nawabi Andaaz (₹379), and Tandoori Momo (₹159), along with our full range of curries, breads, and coolers like Watermelon Mojito and Masala Chaas. For catering or party-sized orders (5 or more people), WhatsApp is genuinely the fastest route — send us your headcount and date, and we’ll quote you with the 10% bulk discount applied and lock in the 24-hour advance notice window.
A few things to keep in mind: delivery is priced by distance — ₹40 for 1–2 km, ₹60 for 2–3 km, and ₹80 for 3–5 km, plus 5% GST and packaging on delivery orders. Offers like the Lunch Special, the Evening Deal (₹30 off, 4:00–6:00 PM), and the ₹100 referral bonus for a friend’s first order are all valid on WhatsApp orders too, though they can’t be stacked together on a single bill.
Ready to try it yourself? Head to our Contact Us page for the WhatsApp button and full details, or browse the menu first to decide what you’re in the mood for tonight. Desi Zaika, Dil Se — straight to your door, one chat away.
Do I need the WhatsApp Business app to order?
No. Regular WhatsApp works fine. You’re simply messaging our restaurant number the same way you’d message a friend — no special app or account required.
Can I place a Jain or onion-garlic-free order on WhatsApp?
Yes. Just mention it in your message and our team will confirm which dishes can be made Jain-friendly or onion-garlic-free for that order.
Is there a minimum order amount for WhatsApp delivery?
There’s no strict minimum for a standard delivery order, though bulk and catering orders require a minimum of 5 people and 24 hours’ advance notice to guarantee the 10% discount and timely prep.
What are your hours for placing a WhatsApp order?
We’re open daily from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM, and you can message us on WhatsApp at +91 8861924344 any time within those hours.
